    Anyone know if it's possible to get a HEPA type cabin filter that works in 'fresh-air' mode?

    Filter is always present in fresh air mode. PlasmaCluster offers ionic treatment to the driver's side for Prius IV and V. Otherwise, there isn't a perfect seal between the airflow and filter to truly HEPA certify. That being said, it's far better than nothing at all.

    Hmm... I didn't know it was only driver's side.
    Does that include the left and left-center vents?
